  • Just a little bit left to go with the innate immune cells, so let's look at natural killer cells! These are cells which show cytolytic activity towards physiologically stressed cells like tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Let's break down the details regarding their development and function!

    Now that I'm about to enter college pursuing medical technology, I'm so grateful to you Professor Dave your videos guided me and helped me to better understand my studies. I hope more people comes to your channel and watch your videos!

    Dave you are always entertainig, you make learning with you fun and absorbing, but i also enjoy watching you destroy people with a perfect mix of intelligence and fact based answers to questions that are sometimes ridiculous. Keep it up mate and i hope you have a merry Christmas. Big love from Scotland

    I know this has nothing to do with your video, but it reminded me of something that might make you laugh.
    I went to a Lutheran high school, so when my freshman biology class got to evolution my teacher wanted to ingrain into all of us that evolution was just a theory and that she had to teach it. I had never been exposed to anything anti-evolution before, so I was confused but just assumed she knew better.
    The next unit we did: cell theory. I asked her on the very first day of the unit why she was teaching this like fact if it's just a theory like evolution. She said that evolution and cells were "different kinds of theories". It was that day that I started to learn about science on my own time and not just listen to what I was taught in schools. She was a really nice person and was the head of my school's Forensics club, which was the best part of my high school experience, but I could never get past her for that hypocrisy. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be in college to become an evolutionary biologist right now.

      Cell theory and theory of evolution ARE collections of FACTS. I am confused about your statement if it says otherwise.

    Its amazing how many tools the body has to fight off cancer and tumors. I lack one, neurofibromin. To oversimplify I lack a protein that helps tell cells when too cut it out, especially the myelin sheiths of nerve cells but not exclusively. I wonder if these killer cells are why I have literally hundreds of tumors, but none are cancerous. That the killer cells see the tumors as normal cells (becausw they are, they just dont get told to stop dividing) but the moment one gets cancerous my immune system comes charging in "oh HELL no"
